Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an example of the system configuration of the sales management system. In the present embodiment, the information management server 100, the recipe information server 200, the allergy information server 300, the sales management system terminal 400, and the three card reader terminals 500A, 500B, 500C are connected to the network 10. Prepare. For the network 10, for example, a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) can be used. Note that the card reader terminals 500A, 500B, and 500C have the same function. When these terminals are collectively referred to, they are referred to as a card reader terminal 500. 1 shows a case where three card reader terminals 500A, 500B, and 500C are connected to the network 10, but the number of card reader terminals 500 is not limited to three. Each of the card reader terminals 500A, 500B, and 500C corresponds to a reading terminal.

In the following description, as an example, an example will be described in which the sales management system is applied to a system that accepts orders for food and drink by employees in the employee cafeteria and settles the price of the ordered food and drink.
The information management server 100 manages employee information based on ID information assigned to each employee. Employee information includes entry / exit, attendance, salary, employee cafeteria usage, and so on. In addition, the information management server 100 is an account that, when an employee purchases food and drink using an IC card 50 such as an employee ID card possessed by the employee, charges are deducted from the bank account of the employee registered in advance. Perform debiting or deduction from salary. Note that ID information (personal identification information) for identifying the employee is recorded on the IC card 50 (information recording medium) possessed by each employee. That is, in the sales management system of the present embodiment, the payment for the ordered food and drink is performed by specifying the employee who is the orderer based on the ID information recorded on the IC card 50 and the price of the food and drink ordered by the orderer. Is stored and managed in association with ID information. The sales management system of this embodiment stores the price for each order or the total price for a predetermined period in association with ID information and / or stores the stored price in association with ID information in an external device. Processing to send is performed.

The card reader terminal 500 is arranged at a place where an employee orders food and drink, and reads information from the IC card 50. Each of the card reader terminals 500A, 500B, and 500C is arranged for each product provided in the employee cafeteria or for each predetermined product group such as set meals and ramen. When the employee causes the card reader terminal 500 to read the ID information recorded on the IC card 50, the card reader terminal 500 that has read the ID information receives an order for a product associated with the card reader terminal 500.
Alternatively, a list of products that can be ordered is displayed on the display screen 505 provided in the card reader terminal 500, and a product may be selected from the displayed products to receive an order. For example, when the display screen 505 is configured with a touch panel, the product is selected by a touch operation on the display screen 505. In this case, the card reader terminal 500 reads ID information from the IC card 50 and performs processing for associating information indicating the selected product with the read ID information. In the following description, a configuration in which a product is selected and ordered from the product list displayed on the display screen 505 will be described as an example.

  The recipe information server 200 is registered with recipe information including information (hereinafter referred to as food material information) for specifying ingredients (food materials) of food and drink provided in the employee cafeteria. When an order is possible for each food and drink in the sales management system, recipe information is registered for each food and drink ordered. Moreover, when an order is possible for each product composed of a plurality of foods and drinks in the sales management system, the recipe information may be registered for each food and beverage or may be registered for each product. The recipe information may include calorie information, salt information, and the like. The recipe information server 200 transmits the corresponding recipe information to the requesting device in accordance with the recipe information acquisition request.

The allergic information server 300 associates the ID information assigned to each employee with the presence or absence of allergens (hereinafter referred to as allergens) that cause food allergic reactions, and if there is a corresponding allergen, the allergen or allergen is displayed. Information that specifies the ingredients to be included is registered. In the following, the presence or absence of allergens and information for specifying allergens or foods containing allergens are collectively referred to as allergy information. The allergy information server 300 transmits allergy information of the corresponding employee to the requesting device in accordance with the allergy information acquisition request.
